  1. Agree with everything @Golf2Much said. Most important thing is to not let you scores out early so that people can't erase that 4 to become a 3. Additionally I played a fun event recently, where it was a ring toss on a par 3 (where there tends to be back ups on during scrambles). For $10, you got 3 ring tosses at a field of bourbon bottles that were donated by local businesses. Some bottles were worth $15-$20 while there were a few hard to find bottles. Really fun way to raise some extra money and give everyone a chance at winning a prize.
  2. Going with cut -2 For the low am, I’ll take Lamprecht. Good Luck to everyone and enjoy the best week of the year.
  3. I'll let the guys comment on what they've seen, but from my fitting and after 2 rounds with the Qi-10 standard the spin profile tends to be just a tad higher than the LS (about 200rpm more). For me, the standard ranges from 2400-2800rpm on my good hits and up to 3500 when I mishit it but that's much improved from my LTDx which would spin up to 4200 on mishits. I like it better than the max which I struggled to get the spin down especially as I tend to be too step on angle of attack. It's interesting how Taylormade seems to have lost the demographic a little with the standard. I think the 3-10 handicap weekend grinder would benefit with the standard over the LS most of the time because of the extra forgiveness, but not have to worry about distance lost on the good ones because of the spin profile.
  4. Did a range session on Monday with my new Qi10. My wife went with me, and I wasn't super diligent about tagging the trackman results to the comparison between my current Cobra LTDx and the Qi10 so I take a screenshot the recorded shots. I will try to do that next week and provide the true data points. I will say the speed across the face though compared to the Cobra is much more consisent. My toe misses are only losing 5-10 yards carry, and dispersion was much tighter with the Qi10. The Cobra on the center of the face might be a bit faster, but on the mishits, I'm losing 20-30 yards in carry. Not sure I'm sold on the Kai'li White shaft, but that remains an unknown.
  5. Hope you get yours soon @GolfSpy_BEN TaylorMade delivered mine this morning! Heading to the track man bar to test it out tonight.
  6. That's a real bummer @GolfSpy_BEN. From a past issue with a Taylormade Driver, there customer experience tends to be really good when there are issues. Well after reading through this thread and hitting the fitting bays for a bit. I've decided to order a Qi10. Wanted to go with the LS because my swing speed is around 105mph and wanted to have the optionality of the slider, but the consistency across the face of the standard Qi10 was too big of a plus to pass up. I went with the Kai'li White 60x shaft, but I am biased toward the Ventus from previous drivers. Depending on how testing goes with the Kai'li White, I may end up still getting the Ventus Blue 6x. I now practice in Atlanta at a trackman bar called Atlanta Golf and Social, so I'm looking forward to sharing the numbers with you.
  7. Just put the finishing touches on 2 golf trips. In May, I'm going to Sand Valley for 2 nights and tacking on a trip to Lawsonia on the way back to fly home. Currently on the waitlist for the Lido, but hoping we can get in there while at Sand Valley. Otherwise, we still have 2 rounds at Mammoth Dunes, 1 at Sand Valley, and a couple loops at the Sandbox on the table. Then due to a last minute wedding in San Diego in July, I'll be playing Torrey Pines. While I have heard meh reviews on the course design, I'm excited to knock a top course off my list and this time the wife wants to join in on the round, so it should be a fun trip (fingers crossed this gets the bug and can greenlight more golf based travel for us in the future)
  8. Another option are the plastic baskets that have variable height. Not as good as a wood tee, but a good option for driving off the mat with consistent tee height
  9. Two Major Winners 2 Rookies from KFT showing strength in the youth First Am in 30 years to win 2 multiple time tour winners Grayson Murray This is not that different from many starts to the PGA Tour season where less top players play the Sony Open, AMEX, Farmers and Mexican Open. Pebble Beach getting only 54 holes set the PGA tour back from an epic Sunday and will struggle until they get depth back for bigger events coming.
  10. What guys were previously barely making cuts that have now won (outside of Grayson Murray who's awful)? Not denying that the start of the season winners for the PGA tour have not been the massive stars so far, but Knapp is an awesome story, Kirk is a great winner and comeback story, Dunlap is the first Am since Phil to win then Hideki and Clark. I think the bigger issue is that the PGA tour has not capitalized on telling the story of these players. The PGA Tour has gotten so lost in the keeping up with the Jones' (LIV) they've lost the narrative unfortunately. Pro golf's beauty is that outside of 2000s Tiger, there has always been amazing parity in the top ranks and that any given Sunday a player could win. Pro golf has the best core group of strong competitive young players that it's ever had.
  11. I've recently joined a trackman simulator club here in Atlanta, but previously had access to my buddies mevo. Have any reviewers compared Trackman stats vs Mevo stats and the disparities between the two?
  12. Rahm has $51 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour. Think that net worth may be slightly understated especially when you add in sponsorships. Think your point remains though for the vast majority that they're not making as much as you think they are outside of the top 15-20 golfers. Plus there is a burden of large expenses as a PGA tour pro. The bottom end lose money or break even as they fight for their card.
  13. For a guy who's made $22million on the PGA Tour, saying $50million is a deal is shocking.
  14. Like the picks. Now would like the rain to go away so I can make this day speed up by having the coverage on.
